Re: How do you prevent theft of your car?

It would take a little time, but take out the rotor and the "A" is going nowhere.
We did that in high school just to mess a guy up.

Re: Raising coupe body

My experience has been that I just went to a DMV with the engine #, and paper work and if that wasn't enough I went to another DMV . That was quite a while back but it worked.

Broken bendix--part two

Thanks for all the suggestions. I sawed it off and will get a new armature. The shaft was crooked as a dogs hind leg.

Re: Headliner sagging is there a ez fix?

Try using a steam iron. Just a little steam at a time. Let it dry. It worked for me.

Re: Radiator Air Flow

Percentage wise the plate blocks quite a bit of radiator surface. On our cross country trips if the weather was really hot I would raise the plate to the horizontal position. Never had a problem.

Re: Tire Choice

Metal valve stems will require some type of an adapter if you want to get air at most filling stations. At least that has been my experience.
